Why not update to both? :) Do 10.2.1 b3 today and update to 10.3 Beta 1 tomorrow (if it actually does come out).

Let's hope this beta fixes the massive beta drain that was present in the last beta

I'm glad I'm not delusional. Lol. Battery life was awesome for the first week and then it went downhill after that. Nothing changed at all. Even had the Facebook app and battery life was still outstanding.

Battery drain still aggressive. Sometimes the usage time is exactly the same as standby time, sometimes not. When they are the same, battery will run out in moments (around 2 hours) no matter how I use it. When they are not, battery could last 4 hours or so. Still way worse than previous iOS version.

Update: seems that battery capacity has been artificially reduced in some cases. Because when battery drains fast, battery recharge speed is also fast. When not drain fast, recharge speed is also slow. Happened in previous beta.

iPhone 6s Plus.

Hey i have a crazy hypotesis regarding this battery drain and shutting down problem (shutting down at 25% lets say). What if apple fixed shut down problem by interpreting that 75% battery life as 100% (if its going to shut itself down then that means this is the juice you have). And with this fix we perceive a reduced battery life.

It also explains those fast recharges as actually phone has some more juice.

And there you have people upgrading to new phones as they have insuffucient batteries :). And people who dont want to upgrade will have hassle-free phones. hey jokes aside i know it sounds crazy but couldnt stop myself from sharing my thougth process.

I am assuming the TV App is only available in the US as I don't get it in the UK? I still have the videos app.

if that were Apple's way of "fixing" the issue, it would be very easily be found out by reading the battery data.

also, I think things are generally smoother in this beta because it's very likely to be the GM build. I experienced the same kind of buttery smoothness with the final 10.2 beta, which turned out to be 10.2 GM.

Given the short or no change/rant list in first post since last few betas, our community hasn't listed a single obvious bug.

This means Apple's software team is doing a darn good job. Kudos.

Only if you don't consider the battery issues plaguing multiple users across multiple devices...

Has anyone noticed if the orientation bug on the iPad Air 2 has been fixed in any of the iOS 10.2.1 builds?
I will found it in a day or two. I have the iPad Air 2 with the beta 3 from some hours now. Il will post here if the bug is still present or not.

iPhone 6 running 10.2. Beta 3 Doesnt seem to have fixed my unexpected shutdowns or my phone turning off at 10-20%
Apart from that running much faster than previous beta.
